Pond Matters

A letter of complaint against the Water Bailiff from a member of the public was read out by the Chairman. The Water Bailiff chose to answer the allegations and did not see the need for a meeting with Councillors to discuss the matter further.

Clerk to answer the member of the public to say the matter had been brought to the attention of the Parish Council who were not in a position to deal with the problem and that the matter was now closed.
